HASP-LOCK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 365,534, dated June 28, 1857.

Application filed April27, 1887. SerialNo. 236.990. (ModoL) To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, FRANK W. MIX, of New Britain, in the county of Hartford and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hasp-Locks; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,

clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same. My invention relates to an improvement in hasp-locks, the object being to simplify and cheapen the construction of certain parts of a lock; and with this end inview the invention consists in certain features of construction and combinations of parts, as will behereinafter described, and pointed out in the claims,

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view of a hasp-lock, the lock-plate being-removed to show the interior portions of the lock. Fig; 2 is a view in perspective of one side, and Fig. 3 a similar view of the other side, of the lock-bolt. Fig. 4 is a perspective View, and Fig. 5 a view in section, of the spacing collet or washer. Fig. 6 is a view in perspective of one side, and Fig. 7 a similar view of the other side, of the button. Fig. 8 is a view in perspective of the key-post. Fig. 9 is a vertical section of the hasp-plate with the look secured thereto, and Figs. 10 and 11 represent modifications. 4

A is the hasp-plate, which is preferably stamped out of sheet metal, and has a hole, a,

, formed therein. A socket or recess, b, is

formed concentric with hole a forthe recep- 5 tion of the boss 0, swaged or struck up on one face of the lock-bolt B, which latter is stamped from sheet metal. The boss 0 constitutes an enlarged bearing for the lock-bolt to rotate in recess 1; in the hasp-plate.

C is a-spacing collet or washer, which is stamped from sheet metal, and has formed therein acentral hole, (I, and lateral rectangular openings (1. This collet or washer is placed against the rear face of the lock-bolt, the openings d therein receiving the spurs or projections e e, which are struck up from the rear surface of the boss 0 on the lock-bolt.

D is the button, which is also stamped out of sheet metal, and isprovided with a central ,0 hole, f, and with spurs or projections g g,

which latter fit into the openings (1 d in the spacing-collet. The key-post E is made with a collar, which latter rests upon the lock-bolt and within the recess formed therein, the portion h thereof constituting the key-post, While the portion i forms a rivet which passes through the lock-bolt, spacing-collet, and button.

By upsetting the end j of the rivet the several parts described-via, the lock-bolt, spac- 6o ing-collet, and the button-are firmly secured together, and also the several parts in question are so connected and interlocked by the spurs entering the collet that they operate in effect as though made in a single piece, and are securely retained against rotary displacement.

By the construction and arrangement of parts described I am enabled to form all of them from sheet metal by stamping them out by suitable dies and punches, and thus insure uniform size and shape to all the parts. By this. asaving in time and expense'in the construction and assemblage of the different parts of the lock in question is secured, as heretofore these parts have been made in whole or in part of cast metal, which called for an outlay of skilled labor, which I dispense with.

I may omit the use of the collet by forming a boss of such depth on the locking-bolt that it will project through the hasp-plate a sufficient distance to, allow the button to be fastened thereto and still leave sufficient'space between the button and hasp-plate for the reception of the edge of the lock-cup. This construction is illustrated in Fig. 10. Again, instead of forming the spurs so as to interlock with the openings in the collet, I may secure the same result by making the portion i of the key-post square or of other angular form in (,0 crosssection, and making correspondinglyshaped holes in the lock-bolt, collet, and button, so that when the rivet is upset and fast-- ened all the parts will be firmly secured together. This construction is shown in Fig. 11. 9 5

As it is evident that many slight changes in the construction and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of my invention, Iwould have it understood that I do not limit myself to the particu- IOC 1211' construction and arrangement of parts as shown and described; but,

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination, with the lock-bolt and button, of a key-post passing through the lock-plate and button, and secured therein by upsetting the end of the key-post that is adjw cent to the button, substantially as set forth.

2. The 1ock-bo1t stumped from sheet metal and provided with a boss which is seated in a recess in the lock-plate, substantially as set forth.

3. The co illbillilhiOll,WiLh the lock-bolt, spacl 5 ingcollet, and button, of interlocking spurs and recesses for securing said parts against rotary displacement, substantially as set forth.

4. The combination, with the hasp-plate, lock-bolt, collet, and button, of the combined 20 key-post and rivet, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

FRANK W. MIX.
